You're big time now, Lady! I dig those water noises you recorded. Audio minus the visual; That's the kind of subtle touch in radio that inspires a listener's imagination.
My two cents: I prefer the canoe because you can get in and get with out any trouble (no wet skirts or rolling or anything like that). As a boy scout, I went to the boundary waters of Canada and canoed and camped out with a bunch of other punk juveniles and one unfortunate candian female guide. We deliberately picked out a route where we didn't have to portage our crafts ("hike while hauling the boat over one's head" for those who might not know)
The clunky, heavy structure of canoes is where kayaks have them beat though. But since I never learned to roll a kayak well, I settled on a third (lesser)alternative: the inflatable canoe. I call mine a dinghy because its the mose fitting word to use. I vividly rememeber the summer after I graduated high school when I bought it for $150 (paddles and pump included) after a week of doing yard work with my brother.
These vessels might not cut it where you're from but it serves my purposes well in the lazy rivers and streams of the southeast. The stream in Nashville where I mostly reside was the inspiration to buy it in the first place but now i'm ready to cast off in one of the bayou's around the Big Easy.
Check out the story I wrote about my first successfull venture init on the paprpapr under "How I spent my first Hurrication"
This has me wanting to head up to Maine now and test out your waters...
